maxi jet mod... mod

[TheDeparted]

well I got a hair up my a$s yesterday and decided to bug my neighbors and build me a case to go around my maxijet w/mod to help keep fish from killing themselves and hopefully keep it from blowing so much of my sand around. well when I took my maxijet appart, the "stanless steel" shaft that came with the mod that I did a while back was rusting :mad2: well I cleaned it up as best as I could and swapped it out with the graphite shaft that came with the kit.. its a good thing I dont have anything in the tank.. but Im still going to do some big water changes.

Oh, and my box.. dosnt look pretty, but it works.

Another way I found to minimize the sand blowing is to get a "wave maker" power strip. I used it with my old tank and had four maxi jets on it. It cuts the powerheads off and on at different times to make the water movement more random and less directional.
